JL Mealer on Energy & Oil

Feds make too much money taxing fuels to cut fuel usage

Q: Should America's energy needs be met by renewables or domestic production or a mix of both?

A: More drilling than investment in renewables (mix of both solutions). I've been in the renewables field for decades (See Mealer Automobile/Power
Generator), we have what we need, but the Fed Gov't makes too much money in taxation of fuels to cut fuel usage (honestly), so massive taxable income (i.e. JOBS) and a second and third economies must be created to substitute fuel-tax loss first.

Drill here; drill now; end dependency

I support the need to drill here, drill now as well as use current and stifled energy alternatives. Ultimately, with the FairTax, the US will not be dependent on the massive tax flow of fuel taxes and we can put existing engineering and technology to
work driving the American workforce, creating jobs and placing the US far above the infamous and proverbial "petrochemical cow" that feeds the world's woes, while our enemy oil suppliers are sending funds to terrorists to kill Americans.
